they can also break blocks

Turtles can only place blocks. Which I assume it calculates based on the item's id number.

so seeds don't work the same as saplings I guess.

They most certainly do. You have to be 1 block ABOVE the farmland, ie you don't hover the turtle on the farmland and placeDown onto it, you hover with a 1 block gap and place down.
Seeds are technically a block.

function plant()
print ()
print ("Planting Seeds...")
turtle.up()
turtle.select( 1 )
for x = 1, 8 do
turtle.forward()
turtle.placeDown()
end
for x = 1, 8 do
turtle.back()
end
turtle.down()
main()
end

Do you have any working code for this?

I'm trying it manually in the lua shell and it will not place a seed being 1 block above the farmland and doing turtle.placeDown()

I've also tried this, doesn't work either. turtle.placeDown() always reports false.

Spoiler

function plant()
print ()
print ("Planting Seeds...")
turtle.up()
turtle.select( 1 )
for x = 1, 8 do
turtle.forward()
turtle.placeDown()
end
for x = 1, 8 do
turtle.back()
end
turtle.down()
main()
end

I don't think it is possible to get it to do anything involving items and right-clicking.

There is a block in redpower that places items on right click, you could place a bunch and have the turtle go and power them.
You could also place them but it wouldn't be incredibly easy to get the seeds into the machine.
